Lewis Trust Group

Lewis Trust Group (LTG) is a prominent private investment holding company and family office based in London, founded by the Lewis family. While the group is most widely recognized for founding and owning the global fashion retailer River Island, it maintains a highly diversified international portfolio across real estate, hospitality, and financial services. Within the life sciences and healthcare sectors, LTG operates primarily as an active venture capital investor and strategic partner, particularly through its investment arms in Israel and the United Kingdom. The group has historically backed various medical technology and biotechnology companies, such as the dermatology-focused firm Kamedis, and the family is deeply involved in medical research philanthropy through the Lewis Family Charitable Trust. As a holding company rather than a drug developer, its involvement in healthcare is defined by its investment strategy rather than an internal clinical pipeline.
